He acted in cold blood when killing the Pocket Universe Kryptonians. And he didn't particularly look like the mind control was driving him to uncontrollable rage in this scene; rather, he became enraged as a reaction to what the mind control was making him see.
Of course there were other solutions, Diana's acting like an idiot too here. But Superman's not particularly suggesting any of them, and his "thou shall not kill no matter what" attitude just isn't consistent with his past behavior. He's never been as judgey about other people killing as he is about doing it himself.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
